I am working on a puppy video… but between having only a little tape, eleven puppies, and now, a dead battery… I’ve been slowed down. Sigh. I’ll get it tomorrow. But for now… here’s an insight into puppy disagreements and family dynamics. Puppy disagreements from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Big Trails
I’ve been painting a fair amount up at the Mills Place… every room needs painted and I’ve only painted the kitchen… now most of the mud room… next will be the office. I take Lucas with me 99% of the time… he lost out day before yesterday when he had helped with some corral work…
Low Light
I tried to get some photos of 5 bull elk in our field last night. Their antlers have shed, of course, but, body-wise… they were big bulls. However, it was dark-thirty, and I’m very bad at taking pictures in low light. From the top of a 4 wheeler. While it is moving. And the subjects…
Past 24 Hours
Day before yesterday we had snow in the morning, it switched to rain… then the sun came out.. then this hailstorm was accompanied by thunder and lightning… all in 12 hours… Wonderful Wyoming! Last night coming home from painting up at the Mills place, these three toms were busy fighting and strutting. By the time…
Ick!
The major difference with this litter and the one in 2007 is that without 6 or 8 inches of snow to keep them confined.. this litter is EVERYWHERE! They are all over my lawn (and pooping all over it too!) They even sneak under a fence next to their wood shed home. They are at…
Old Vs. New OOPE
Moving cattle the other day… down the highway… on a big curve… this appears… EEEEEK! It’s a SEMI!!! Nah… no, worries, mate… we have signs on the road warning of CATTLE ON ROAD, and around here, truckers know to believe the signs… and they come slow. But this shows the differences between the “old” ways…
Wordless Wednesday – “Cowboyin’ “
Cowboyin’ is my entry for this Wordless Wednesday.
Guest
Rarely, if ever, have I posted anything slightly political on this blog… but I just read Bush Babe of Granite Glen’s blog… a counterpart (ranchwife) over in Australia. I check her blog as well as Just Another Day on the Prairie, an Alberta, Canada, ranchwife. They both crack me up… repeatedly. The links to their…
Ponies
If you’re one of our horses… you need patience. You need to wait when we doctor, sort in the corral, eartag, eat lunch, and do a hundred other things. You get to take naps and swish flies (though the fly population hasn’t exploded yet!). You get to get used to your buddy and not get…
Bruner Draw
This is Bruner Draw. Named for the man who homesteaded with a small dugout located on the skyline to the right of the most left juniper tree… the fenceline here separates our private ground from BLM. This is the “badlands”. The green in the bottom of this draw also hides a boggy mucky mess that…
Dogs of the Day
Today was the first day in a few, that I’ve been able to settle in, do some chores, play an extended amount of time with the puppies, and have a nice visit with my daughter and her boyfriend. We’ve been moving cows, you see… Elsa and Dally were Dogs of The Day…
Gotta Share Photos
I have to share some puppy photos… It is something I HAVE to do… I HAVE to share the cuteness! Elsa supervises feeding time, just to make sure everyone uses their manners. The colors (colours??) of English Shepherds… at least in this litter! You ever felt like LAYING in your food – it tastes so…
